2010 Supplemental Rules

NASA Arizona will operate under the NASA National rules (i.e. CCRs) published here with the following exceptions noted below.

Exceptions to CCRs:

• Section 9 & 10 (Instructors): These sections do not apply. Please contact John Dowling directly for additional details for becoming an Instructor for NASA Arizona
• Section 11 (Tech Inspection): NASA Arizona does not currently utilize offsite tech inspections. All tech inspections are done at the track and are free of charge. We do ask that all participants print off and fill out a tech sheet prior to arriving to the event. Tech sheets can be downloaded here –> http://www.nasaproracing.com/images/…_hpde_tech.pdf
• Section 11.3.3 (HPDE Driver apparel): Events that are deemed to experience extreme heat conditions may be approved to allow for HPDE participants to wear “shorts”
• Section 11.4.15 (Car Numbers): This rule must be followed for “Time Trial” vehicles. HPDE vehicles are highly encouraged to follow suit as this will be mandatory in 2011. For 2010, numbers on the windows are still acceptable.
• Section 15.1 and 15.2 (Fire Extinguisher/System): Time Trial competitors must follow this rule
• Section 15.17.4 (Gloves): Time Trial competitors must follow this rule
• Section 15.17.5 (Eye & Face protection): Time Trial competitors must follow this rule
• Section 16.1 (Competition Vehicle Logbook): Time Trial vehicles may be issued a “Vehicle Logbook”
• Section 17.1 (Impound): ALL vehicles will report to impound after each race
• Section 21.5 (Official Results): Competitors have until the “following event” to dispute the accuracy of any results
• Section 22.1 (Season Points Eligibility): There must be at least two competitors in the same class both of which must earn points in at least 51% or more of the events to be eligible for any season end awards. The “Default Season Points System” will be used.
• Section 22.2 (& 22.2.1): NASA Arizona will allow “5″ drops for Time Trial and all Race Groups
• Section 27.12.1 (Point Limit - Annual): Instead of accumulating points during the “season” (i.e. Jan-Dec) as the CCR rule currently states, points shall be accumulated over the last 13 months or last 13 races, whichever is greater.

NASA Arizona Specific Rules:

• Using the oval at T1 (@ PIR only): In the event a competitor is forced into the oval at T1 to avoid contact, the competitor may rejoin the race field at T9 under the following conditions: A) Must be at a full and complete stop AND B) May not start moving until the vehicle in front of them at the time of going “off track” is past the green/yellow/red lights past T9.
• Staying “on track”: The intended “racing surface” shall be defined as the painted “white line”. In the event there is no “white line” or it is too faded to see, the racing surface shall be defined as the “apex curbs”. Failure to maintain at least 1 wheel on the intended “racing surface” may result in penalites.
• Race Group Body Contact: Body Contact form MUST be turned in by all parties for any damage caused during any NASA Arizona event. Failure to do so will result in an automatic disqualification from the race results.
• Dyno Testing: For classes that require a “dynojet” test. The rules indicated that a Dynojet Model # 248 or 224 may be used for official classing. However, 2WD compliance testing for all Arizona based events will be performed at “AZ Dyno Chip” (http://www.arizonadynochip.com/) or “Xtreme Motorsports” (http://www.xmsengineering.com/). Competitors are highly encouraged to have their vehicles tested at one of these locations to ensure classing compliance.

Exceptions to Enduro Rules

• Section 2.4 (Min # of drivers): Teams may have no more than 3 drivers. No minimum required.
• Section 2.7 (Entry fees): See registration page for entry fee. The car that will be driven must pay for “Race” registration fee. Co-drivers sharing a car will need to pay the “Enduro” entry fee.
• Section 3.3.1, 4.1, 4.2 & 4.3 (Car classification): ES, ESR and E0-E3 will not be used. NASA Arizona will continue to use PT classing or “944 Spec” for all cars. Contact Paul Bloomberg (pjbloom1@gmail.com) if there are any issues regarding classification. Any other class specific references will map as follows - “ES & ESR” = “ST2, ST1, SU” / “E0-E3″ = “PTF-PTA”
• Section 5.7 (Repairs on course): Repairs are not permitted on course.
• Section 8.2.1 (Refueling): Please note that “8.2.1” this rule does not apply, please read
• Section 8.2.3 (Refueling for “less than 6 hours) NOTE: “ES & ESR” = “ST2, ST1 & SU”
• Section 8.3 (Pit Speed Limit): The start of the “pit” will be defined by the painted line and/or cones at the entrance of the hot pit. NOTE (@PIR): There will not be a defined speed limit for the entrance of track exit (apron) but any speeds deemed excessive will result in penalties up to and including complete disqualification from the season. Also note that the 25MPH speed limit will be strictly enforced and penalties for exceeding the speed limit could result in harsh penalties.
